TeleVue Eyepiece Ethos 6mm 1.25"/2" (14202)

TeleVue Ethos 6 mm Eyepiece 1.25"/2" (Model 14202)

The TeleVue Ethos 6 mm eyepiece offers an exceptionally wide and immersive observing experience, designed for astronomers who want maximum field of view combined with outstanding optical performance. As part of TeleVue’s premium Ethos series, it delivers a dramatic, spacewalk-like sensation that removes the feeling of looking through a narrow tube. Once experienced, the expansive and crystal-clear presentation fundamentally changes the way the night sky is observed.

An Expansive View Without Limits

While traditional eyepieces often provided a 50° to 60° field of view, the Ethos 6 mm features a remarkable 100° apparent field of view. Compared to an 82° eyepiece, this represents roughly a 50% increase in visible sky area. The result is a panoramic, immersive perspective that virtually eliminates the “tunnel effect” and makes observing feel more natural and unrestricted.

Outstanding Sharpness and Optical Performance

The Ethos 6 mm is engineered to maintain extremely high sharpness across the entire field, including the edges. It performs exceptionally well even with fast telescopes, such as systems with focal ratios around f/4. A sophisticated optical design combined with advanced multi-coatings ensures excellent light transmission, contrast, and color fidelity. Fine planetary details and subtle deep-sky structures become easier to detect, allowing observers to fully utilize the capabilities of their telescope.

Versatility and Comfort

The Ethos series is available in multiple focal lengths to suit a wide range of telescopes and observing preferences. Depending on the focal length, models are compatible with 1.25" and/or 2" focusers. A foldable rubber eyecup enhances viewing comfort and helps block stray light during extended observing sessions. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability.

The Ethos line has received significant praise from astronomy publications and has earned multiple industry awards, reflecting its reputation among experienced observers.
